Conceiving Luc: A Family Story

Liza was a healthy thirty-four-year-old when she discovered she could not carry a baby. Like the one of every six women who hears this news, Liza and her husband, David, despaired that they would never be parents. They both had careers. Life would go on...in other ways.

Then the unpredictable happened. Liza's cousin, Jennifer, offered to be the gestational carrier for Liza and David. This is the story of how two women and their husbands came to the incredible decision to put their faith, their lifelong friendship, and their hearts into the rigorous, uncharted and emotional science of creating new life.

No other memoir has explored this medical odyssey—the promise and the problems in pursuit of parenthood. No one has shared it with the world until now, in a heartwarming true story filled with eloquence and candor.
